The CKK Sheath/Holster Molding Press is the ultimate tool for professional and hobbyist sheath and holster makers. Constructed from 1/4 inch steel plate with a durable black powder-coated finish, this press is designed for a lifetime of use, delivering precision and reliability for every project.
Perfect for forming both flat-faced and full wraparound sheaths or holsters, this versatile press works for knives, handguns, web-gear, flashlights, magazine clips, and more. Mold with both top and bottom foam, or use a flat, hard surface like Micarta® or G10 for one side. The top plate is removable for quick height adjustments, giving you greater control. The channel locking system keeps the top plate in place, and the retention chain adds security so you can focus on other tasks while your heated material cools. The bench model includes pre-drilled footer holes for secure mounting, ideal for stable, consistent production. Say goodbye to clumsy clamps and loose foam, and enjoy a smoother, faster molding process with professional-grade results.
How to Use:
1. Prepare Your Material: Heat your thermoplastic material (KYDEX®, HOLSTEX®, Boltaron®, or leather) to 300 to 375°F, depending on the material and your oven. Heat evenly for best results.
2. Wrap Your Item: Once the material reaches temperature, wrap it around the object you want to mold (knife, gun, flashlight). Refer to our video tutorials for guidance.
3. Place in Molding Press: Insert the wrapped item into the press. It accommodates both foam-covered and flat-backed molding styles. Adjust the top plate for height and secure it with the retention chain (optional).
4. Apply Pressure: Apply pressure so the material molds to the item. Allow it to cool and set into its final form.
5. Remove Your Item: Once cooled and hardened, carefully remove it from the press. Your sheath or holster is ready for finishing.
